    I need finer control of the truncate length of the summary of the content being pulled by ditto.

    Please refer to my news archive page: http://www.markojokic.com/index.php?id=47

    As you can see on the linked page, I have a childgallery via maxigallery and the summary of the text content next to it.
    Each summary, using [+summary+] in ditto comes out at a different length. This is because (I think)ditto is considering all of the characters in the code for the gallery of images and then the actual [+content+] of the page being pulled.
    I can’t offset the truncation because each gallery has a different amount of images in it, so some are longer than others in character quantity before it hits the actual [+content+].

    Do I have this right, that is, that ditto is counting the code for the galleries as part of the content to truncate?

    Is there a way for ditto to not consider those characters?

    I can give more info about how I built this if necessary.
